A dirndl is a traditional dress,which was worn in the Southern area of Germany by wommen.An outfit that the men and children wore is called the lederhosen.The lederhosen meant leather pants in German.The Gamsbart is also a part of the traditional German clothing.The Gamsbert is actually a tuft of hair that is used as a form of a decorative element.this is worn on the trachen hats.In Germany the are many different types of famous architecture that attracts tourist for example the Victory Column,Reich Stag,Potsdamer Platz and the Charlottenburg Palace. Here is a video of a few of these historical monuments.National HolidaysGermany celebrates Fathers Day, Mothers Day,Easter,April Fools Day andValentines Day.(Germany celebrates mostly what Canada celebrates) Germany is a significant trading partner for Canada. In 2011, Germany's exports into Canada totalled $14.4 billion. From 1998 to 2011, Germany's exports to Canada more than doubled. Quebec and Ontario are Canada’s largest provincial importers from Germany. In 2011, Ontario imported $5.1 billion in goods from Germany and Quebec imported $5.6 billion.Some of German's exports to Canada are cars, viecle parts and medical parts. I think that Canada imports a lot of goods/services from Germany because Canada probably doesn't manufacture a lot of medical equipment and viecle parts.It benefits Germany for Canada to trade with Germany because Germany would get wheat for medical equipment and viecle parts.Germany's FoodPork, beef, and poultry are the main varieties of meat consumed in Germany, with pork being the most popular.Trout is the most common freshwater fish on the German menu.German dishes are rarely hot and spicy;the most popular herbs are traditionally parsley,thyme,laurel,chives and black pepper.Vegetables are often used in stews or vegetable soups,but are also served as a side dish.Hope you Enjoyed!By:Ahaash
